I wonder what the extremely rich do to get a car that isn’t a security risk? I’ve heard you can throw money at high end car dealerships to disable spying, but I wonder what the internal process is.
It's easier than that, you can remove the cellular modem. Dealers won't generally accept to make this mod, but any independent shop should be able to. There are also plenty of videos on YT to DIY.
I some months back called every independent EV mechanic I could find a listing for in my state to see if they would help me disable the cellular modem of any of the models I was interested in buying, and they mostly told me either that they couldn't or wouldn't. One of the more polite shops I got in touch with explained that many models don't have a separate board that can be disabled anymore, or otherwise have more things on the board that need to be talking on the CAN bus for other, actually important parts of the car to function. As such, I still have my old car.
Since then, I've learned about the 50ohm dummy antennas you can buy. I might try that if my car dies before an AWD/4WD Slate truck becomes an option, and also if my living situation can accommodate charging.
As far as I know, all modern Toyotas have discrete DCMs (data communication modules) that can be physically unplugged with limited side effects. The side effects are loss a speaker and hands-free microphone, but they be restored by means of a bypass harness. Simply unplugging the antennas does not seem to be enough in areas with good cellular coverage. I have seen the dummy load approach discussed on car forums but have no experience with it.
exactly. you specify types for function parameters and structs and let the language do it's thing. it's a bit of a niche to specify a type within a function...
There is a reason the multiple methods detailed above exist. Mostly for random iterator syntax. Such as summing an array or calling collect on an iterator. Most Rust devs probably don't use all of these syntax in a single year or maybe even their careers.
> There are definitely times you want to specify a type.
So I'm coming from basically obly TypeScript type system experience but that seems completely ok to me. There are times I make my TS uglier to make it less ambiguous and times I make it more ambiguous to make it more readable. It's unreasonable imo that such a system could universally land on the most readable format even if we could all agree what's most readable. Instead, some cases are going to be tradeoffs so that the more common cases can flow unimpeded.
I can't believe that a flexible powerful syntax is considered limiting or confusing by some people. There is way more confusing edge-case syntax keywords in C++ that are huge foot-guns.
Larger capacity is usually slower though. The fastest ram is typically 16 or 32 capacity.
The OP is talking about a specific niche of boosting single thread performance. It’s common with gaming pcs since most games are single thread bottlenecked. 5% difference may seem small, but people are spending hundreds or thousands for less gains… so buying the fastest ram can make sense there.
And Dyson has legal liability if they catch fire and a name brand to uphold if they don’t meet advertised runtimes. Amazon does not.
If you want a new battery for your Dyson, buy a tool battery adapter from Amazon and buy the tool battery from your local hardware store. Same price or less and you get insane run time + a new tool battery.
This x100. The Dyson batteries are expensive and die quickly (someone mentioned their experience mitigating the failure time by waiting to put the vacuum back on the charger until after it has cooled off). Getting a Milwaukee adapter for my Dysons has worked out really well. Runtime is much better, and I have one less custom battery size to deal with in my house.
Yeh, it's kind of insane that most electronics sold on Amazon now are counterfeit, fake or dangerous. How do they have no legal responsibility for the products sold in their store.
How those AMD crashes though. All my friends in AMD CPUs have had a hell of the last two years with constant crashes in unreal engine games. Meanwhile, I made fun of myself for buying an ancient 11 series which is a decade old arch at this point but is rock solid.
Had those due to insufficient cooling in the case. Tell him to run the games without the side panel. I installed additional fans later and have had no such issue ever since. xt 7900
Contrast that with Intel's last generation of chips, all of which started failing after a similar time period. AMD only need to be better than the competition.
Hubspot has a tool for validating fields in data using regex. They have a little ai prompt that will write the regex for you. Now that is a good use for ai.
And if AI makes workers more efficient, then businesses not actively hiring more employees are admitting that even with extra resources they have no strategy to grow their business. Like, if one person is effective as ten people, then a business should be able to grow quicker since their operating costs are effectively lower freeing up capital for growth.
So either their business is a dead end, the inefficiency is at the management layer, or AI isn’t actually making workers more efficient.
Most businesses have a limit to growth in general (e.g. market size, etc). Doesn't mean they are bad businesses just means they can't grow forever and there is a limit to the demand of that given activity. I argue this applies more so to tech products since they generally are relatively affordable already and for most people aren't price demand constrained. A dead end business w.r.t growth could be a cash positive asset for a very long time depending on what it does and maybe that's OK.
Its why I'm not the biggest believer in "Jevon's Paradox" when it comes to software. Most software projects scale and as such they aren't really cost constrained. Or another way of stating this is "if the idea is good and can make lots of money the cost of dev's isn't a limiting factor" - hence why AI doesn't necessarily increase demand all that much. This is unlike say physical industries where cost can absolutely matter especially if the good is constrained already by affordability.
I think most SWE's know this - they see it with outsourcing as well where cheaper costs don't necessarily mean more software is done; but there is some "hope" that things will be OK.
